BREAKING: President Biden just issued new ICE guidance wholly abandoning his pledge to halt deportations. ACLU says this is "a disappointing step backward from the Biden administration’s earlier commitments to fully break from the harmful deportation policies" of Trump and Obama.— Colin Kalmbacher (@colinkalmbacher) February 18, 2021
But his website promised us that he would be cool!?!?!?
I have some hope for the left after seeing just how shitty Biden is. Obama was much more damaging because he was good at his job, Biden sucks at it. I'm really hoping that we'll see more Marxist orgs getting involved and building a party, because god knows we need one. It's funny that people whined about lesser evilism all last summer when the real answer to creating a worker's party is by having it do praxis outside of the election season. We don't need to be in office to make change.
We also have much better leftist presence in media (and social media) so hopefully that works in tandem with Biden's incompetence to break the illusion
The primary reason I was hoping Biden would win wasn't because of things he would actually do in office. I felt that 4 more years of Trump would lead to nothing but excuses and deflecting onto middle America from the libs. The best way that they can be radicalized is to see Biden not change a damn thing. Obviously the blue maga people will be happy with the changes in language and the new color scheme but most dems don't fit into that mold. Biden's administration will hurt the legitimacy of the democratic party.

This was my hope as well.
